The DRC Foreign Minister should worry about the ongoing criminal investigation in Belgium on money laundering and plundering of Katanga's mineral resources by President Tshisekedi and his family, rather than worrying about success stories in neighbouring countries.

Formula 1 will “polish the image of an authoritarian leader” if it goes ahead with plans to hold an African Grand Prix in Rwanda, the foreign minister of neighbouring DR of Congo, Therese Kayikwamba Wagner, said Thursday.

This afternoon at Urugwiro Village, President Kagame received Cheikh Niang, Senegal’s Minister of African Integration, Foreign Affairs and Senegalese Abroad. They discussed ways to further strengthen the existing fruitful bilateral relations between Rwanda and Senegal.
The meeting follows yesterday's inaugural Joint Permanent Commission for Cooperation, which saw the signing of several bilateral agreements and MoUs across key sectors, as well as the Rwanda-Senegal Business Forum, aimed at enhancing trade and investment ties between the two countries.

“It is an honour and privilege for Rwanda to be chosen as a destination in the Formula One calendar. What brought us together is a shared conviction that Africa has the potential to elevate the quality of motorsports as a global and elite discipline.
Integrating African markets with global sports franchises and competitions offers transformative opportunities. Yet, if we have to be honest with ourselves, this cross-border connection has existed for a long time, just not in Africa’s favour.
The message for all of us is simple: sports is a great equalizer, but we have to be intentional about delivering this promise. Rwanda is happy and excited to be part of a journey that will change how Africa is perceived in the world of sports. We want to contribute, not just participate, and this new chapter in motorsports starts today" President Kagame | Formula 1 African Grand Prix Announcement

On behalf of the government and people of South Africa, I offer warm congratulations to His Excellency President @PaulKagame and the government and people of Rwanda on securing a 10-year agreement to host the Formula 1 African Grand Prix.
South Africa shares in the pride with which Rwanda is preparing to fly the chequered flag for our continent with the hosting of a globally prestigious event at the planned Bugesera circuit from the early 2030s.
This contract is a recognition of the capabilities of the Rwandan nation and of our continent more broadly.
As host of the first Grand Prix on African soil in 1993, and organiser of other major global events, South Africa will be happy to provide any support we may be invited to share.
The F1 African Grand Prix is another lustrous addition to Rwanda’s growing collection of top international events, including the UCI-classified Tour du Rwanda cycling race.
Congratulations, Rwanda.
You are in pole position to make all of Africa proud and take motorsport to new heights.

F1 is coming back to Africa
“Formula One F1 is coming to Rwanda, and I’m very exited!”

#Rwanda hosting @F1 is no overnight success. It reflects decades of rebuilding, brick by brick, since 1994.
Under President Kagame’s leadership, securing a 10-year deal for the African Grand Prix (coming in the early 2030s) is about more than motorsport. It symbolizes how far we have come and where we aspire to go. It’s proof of a nation rising with safety, confidence, and ambition. 🇷🇼

The first render of the circuit design out near the new Kigali International Airport, 40km outside the city.
Looks quite fast and flowing, the last sector looks like a reverse Suzuka! #F1 #AfricanGP – at Rwanda
